A DOubIe Murder

CLEVELAND, o., June 24.-At North
Industry, a small village in Stark
county, Ohio. this afternoon, Conrad
Doll, a coal miner aged ferty-five years,
killed his wife and step-son with a
hatchet. The murder was horrible
one. The family had Just eaten amer
when the quarrel between Doll anil his
wife started. Procuring hatehhFAp
attacked the woman and boy. MIS-.
Doll was struck several times on the
head and body. The boy was killed
while sitting in chair. One blow of
the hatchet crushed his forehead,
another nearly severed his head from
the body and a third nearly cut off one
hand. Doll escaped after the murder
and has thus far eluded capture. A
large posse is out In pursuit of him, and
it is limited that if caught he will be
lynched. Doll is an intemperate fellow
and has had frequent quarrels with his
wife, to whom he was married six
months ago. To-day Doll found letter
written by another man to his wife, in
which statements compromising the
woman were made. This led to the
murder. A letter left by Doll states
that he intended to kill his wife and
step-son and then commit suicide.

New YORK, June 24.-Dr. E. 81.
Duggan, one of the wealthieSt and best
known physicians of Williamsburg,
North Brooklyn, was deliberately shot
and killed at 2 o'clock this afternoon by
George Weidler, of Williamsburg, as
he, the doctor, was leaving patients
house in Williamsburg. The murderer
sauntered up to the house, while the
doctor was inside, and asked the doctors
coachman how soon his master would
come out. The coachman told him he
would be out in five minutes and ad-
vised him to wait. Weidler did so and
chatted with the coachman until DR..
Duggar came out. AS he stopped on
the sidewalk Weidler walked up to him
and the two men cOnverSed in low tones
for a moment. The murderer then
cody drew tive-barreled revolver and,
taking aim at the doctors head. fired.
The doctor threw up his hands and
started to run, but Weidler fired two
more shots and
HE FELL DEAD
in the street. Weidler made no attempt
to escape and quietly submitted to ar
rest at the hands of a police officer who
happened to be passing. He was taken
to the police station and on being
searched was found to have $3.50 in bills
and large number of Havana and
Louisiana lottery tickets on his person.
A stub book with the record of numer-
Gus tickets was also found in his pocket,
and despite his claim that he is a paper
box maker, itappears that he is lottery
agent. He is twenty-five years old and
is married. He seems perfectly
rational and calm and will
make no statement of his reasons
for the murder other than the affair is
simply family matter; it will be ex-
| planned in due time. The murdered
physician is reported to be worth $780,
900 or more and had a large practice.
He leavesn wife, two sons and a daugh-
ter, the latter being the wife OF Chi
cago insurance agent named Malittlo.
A number Of people witnessed the
shooting, but no one can advance any
theory regarding its cause. 1t was evi-
IDENTIFY premeditated murder. and this
fact, coupled, with Weidleris peculiar
actions and remarks, has given rise to
the mention Of the prisoners sisters
name in connection with the affair.

Exaggerations.
Terrebonne Advocate:

Falstaffs lighly-c colored account ct
the men in buckram was nothing tqpthe
stories that are published in the ire
form" papers of the vast crowds at the
Nichols meeting. Let two men hold n
conversation at cross roads aid it is
Immediately hera1ded as large and en-
thusiastic Nichols meeting. Some days
ago the Picayune was furnished an ac
count of "msnster" Nichols meeting
at Pointe-a la -Hache. The editor OF
the Observer made count of noses at
this meeting with this result:
"Tbere were only $50 persons at the
Nichols meeting at the courthouse last
Saturday. Out of this number there
were SO McEnery men, drawn there by
curiosity, so colored men, IS visitors
from New Orleans, and IA persons from
other wards, the remainder ~ being
Nichols men from this ward"
A similar account of meeting at Bu-
ras, in which it was declared that no
less than 800 or 900 people were pre-
sent, and in which Buras was called
: the banner Democratic ward of the par
ish, draws forth this sarcastic rejoinder
; from the "Third Warder'' in the Pla-
quemine Observer:
We read with quietude about the
5000 or 1000 multitude mass meeting at
Zacharie Station, East Baton Rouge,
which simmered down to 535 votes for
Nichols nominee Herman, in the whole
parish few weeks later; we held our
peace when it was telegraphed to the
New Orleans Picayune that at the Point
Pleasant Nichols meeting in the fourth
ward of this parish there were 548 votes
solid for Nichols, although the returns
at that precinct showed Is Democratic
votes at the last election; but when in
addition to 800 Or 900 people at Buras
all solid for Nicholls, it is claimed that
that ward is the "banner ward Of the
Democracy Of the parish,' We must call
halt.
At the last gubernatorial election
, there were only forty Democratic
votes in the whole of the tenth ward, in
cludiDg Buras Settlement and Tropical
Bend. If there be SO many voters there,
and they were unheard of before, are
they Nichols Democrats or simon pure
Democrats, aid if the latter, why did
they not suppprt the Democratic nomi-
nee9 i
We prefer 10 believe the registry and
voting records and the United States
census, and not trust to the optical illu-
sions of the city orators.

The idea begins to prevail in Euro.
pean armies that it is better to wound
4 man in battle than to kill him, as
more men are taken out of line to care
for a wounded man than for a dead one.
Hence opinion at present fayors small
bore for the magazine rifles now being
introduced aud the average adopted is
about three tenths of an inch only, in
stead of the half-inch guage hitherto IN
use in Europe and in this country An
advantage Of the smaller bore is that
the soldier can carry more rounds of
ammunition. His gun also can bemade
lighter.

Gretna Courier While the Reform.
ers commonly depreciate the credit and
condition of the State and deny that
Louisiana has progressed and prosper
ed under McEnery, on some occasions
they admit facts patent to all the world,
but claim that the same results would
have been achieved under any other
man for Governor, thar the work ac-
complished was all in the line of duty,
and McEnery was entitled to no parti
cular credit for doing what was incnm-
bent on him.
It is childish to underrate the SER
vices of McEnery. Take his levee work
for instance. He would not have been
considered remiss in his duty had he
remained in his Office at Baton @Rpuge
and done nothing more than honestly
administer the leyee funds. But he
did far more than this; he moved about
from parish to parish where danger
threatened, stirred up an active public
spirit, called and presided over ievee
conventions, By system of co opera
ton secured assistance from the nation
al government, and in time OF perils
from the floods assumed responsibilities
that a weaker man would not have
dared to face. In agriculture, ednea-
ton, finance and other great interests
of the State, the Governor has perform,
ed jealous work, not confning himself
to routine details, but throwing himself
heart, soul and body In the cause OF true
reform and progress.

The N. O. Item has been giving some
very striking illustrations of ''tricks in
trade" A gentleman who is blessed by
the possession of a faithful and careful
housekeeper, was surprised by an ex-
hibit that his grocer's weights of articles
purchased fell considerably short of
those recorded on the scales at home.
For example, an alleged twenty-five
pounds of sugar Tailed only trifle
above twenty; ten pounds of lard pull
ed down only eight pounds of his
weights, etc. Of course, he had the bill
corrected. But just see what an I'M
mense percentage of advantage dea-
Ter inclined to give short weight or
measure has. He can either nominally
undersell an honest competitor or gain
large extra profits iu the aggregate by
numerous pretty pilferings from those
who trust in his integrity A pair of
scales in the domestic pantry would
seem to be very proper safeguard.
